The Role of the In-house Lawyer is Not Often Understood. But, Once Experienced, the In-House Lawyer Becomes an Invaluable Asset. The In-House Lawyer is Not Just a Replacement for a Law Firm Lawyer and is Not Just for the Big Companies. (09/07/10 Show)

November 30, 2010 by admin

The in-house lawyer, or Chief Legal Officer (CLO), is an invaluable part of any company. Even the small and mid-sized companies can benefit from the CLO on a part-time basis. Every activity engaged in and decision made in a company has legal implications. The question is whether the business managers know it. In many cases, they do not. The CLO, who is an industry expert, can help business managers make more informed decisions with better risk management without having to incur expensive hourly fees.

Atlanta Business Radio’s Amy Otto interviews Corporate Conversations’ Dawn Ely to talk about Palladium Chief Legal Officers. Joining the show also is Bernie Wolford of Buckingham Associates.
